Re: ISO 28ga. patterns with 1-3/8oz laod

I was using 1 3/8 or 1 3/16 in my Stevens 555 28ga with an IC .520. Great patterns and a little less recoil in that light O/U.

Re: Weatherby Element

I have the trulock .585 in my m2 and a300 and I like the patterns with tss. I have no need for 300 pellets in the 10. A more forgiving pattern is much better in my opinion.

Re: Mossberg SA-28 Pattern Test

I wonder how a 1oz load of 9s, 9 1/2s or 10s would do in the SA28? That would likely work well at 40yds. My SA-28 compact shoots great patterns with 1 3/8 oz handloads. I haven't tried any lighter loads, but I'm sure with the right choke they would work well at 40 or so yds. Dave

Re: SA28 full size stock

Ended up going with a Limbsaver slip-on pad for now. The small fits like a glove and adds an inch or more to the length of pull.

And definitely look at the SA-28 Tactical Turkey. Check the recent posts on the forum to see the patterns they throw! If you want one of those check out the price on Kentucky Gun Company.

Re: Opinions on 20g - Franchi Affinity 3 or Mossberg SA20 Tactical Turkey? Other?

I've owned 3 of the Franchi's, 3 Tristar's and 1 Mossberg SA-28. All of those guns functioned flawlessly. I would also consider the Stoeger 3020 either the latest version or the old one (check Euro Optic for the best price on those). Don't hesitate buying a 28ga. They pattern very much like a 20ga o...

Re: SA28 full size stock

For me, the attraction of the compact gun was mostly for the short barrel. The short length of pull could work for most turkey hunting situations, but I'd like to use the gun for rabbits and maybe waterfowl. A 14"+ length of pull is short for me, but that would work much better.

SA28 full size stock

Anybody know where to find a full size stock for a SA28? I bought the compact model and I would really like a longer stock for all purpose use. I'm 6'4" so the added length of pull would be nice. I would consider a trade if anyone would be interested. My gun has the black stock and it's like ne...

I have a 555 in 28ga that I'm going to sell. It is in excellent condition and will have a sumtoy optics base included. The gun shot incredible patterns with TSS and is definitely a big step up from a .410 performance wise, but still is lightweight. I decided to buy a semi-auto 28ga and need room in ...

Re: 410 shooters, What’s a good 10” count

140-180 would be a typical range for a combo like yours with the right choke tube. Some guns might do a little better. 10 shot or 1oz loads will likely get you closer to 200 or maybe over with the right combo. Having a clean bore can be very important for a .410 to shoot the best patterns.
